Bill, No ideas for piano #2, but one place I've found 'rough edge' noise on U1's in octaves 5-6 is the silly main action rail. Hard strikes, noisier when the cabinet is closed. Check all action brackets and rest bolts. "Aluminum action rails are so stinking perfect we don't NEED no stinkin' supports!" i heard that...........
